Mendelssohn’s Violin
A cornerstone of the repertoire, Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto is a passionate and technically mesmerizing display of the instrument’s capabilities. It soars in the hands of the gifted Randall Goosby, a former student of Itzhak Perlman who, at 13, was the youngest winner of the Sphinx Competition. The beloved work is complemented by a delightfully effervescent Divertimento for String Orchestra composed by Bartók in just 15 days, along with Mozart’s popular “Prague” Symphony, and the World Première of a work by Métis composer Ian Cusson, created in partnership with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).
In addition to the performances on Fri, Jun 7 at 7:30pm, Sat, Jun 8 at 8:00pm, and Sun, Jun 9 at 3:00pm, we also offer a Relaxed Performance on Sat, Jun 8 at 11:00am. Our Relaxed Performances provide specific accommodations that support the neurodiverse and disabled community. For more information on Relaxed Performances, please visit TSO.CA/Relaxed.
